Just wondering, but wouldn’t taking pictures of someone without permission be invasion of privacy? Like the paparazzi. But wouldn’t freedom of press/speech come into this too?
No it is not invasion of privacy. There is no expectation of privacy when out in public. And no freedom of the press and speech have nothing to do with this. They only stop the government not news media.
Is there a controlled news (journalism)? And why they want to have Freedom of the Press? Is there a comparison & contrast or a mere fact we do live in a world of Entertainment?
While you may have been trying to be funny, you failed miserably.
Hello! I’m working on a homework assignment, and struggling to come up with conflicts that are associated with Freedom of the Press. Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks in advanced!
it is censorship.

So who ever is in office can decide pass the "public values test" is OK.
I think FCC needs to stay out of Freedom of Press don’t you?
This is the same story… The radicals cannot sell their ideas, so they want to FORCE them on you.
What are some exceptions to it?
I would say you cannot have a press that purposly lies to the public. The press does not have the freedom to lie. Or at least it should’nt. Our press lies and omits all the time.
Has the US government forgot there is such a thing as freedom of the press?… This sort of thing has gone on for a long time, with every media outlet throughout the years.
Every Government has the need o exchange confidential information for reasons that are obvious to most people. Stealing and then releasing classified information is not exercising "Freedom of Speech…" It’s called treason.
I do note however…. that the Obama Administration is concerned about this second leak more than the first…. could it be because the latest dump is centered on Clinton’s State Department communications and nothing to do with President Bush…?
With the rhetoric that’s going on it sounds like many politicians, particularly Republicans, are looking to abolish the 1st amendment right of freedom of the press. They’re want to do it in the name of "national security".
Those on Capitol Hill are fine with journalists only as long as they’re complacent.
Every American needs to stand up and oppose this kind of rhetoric. These ideas are unAmerican and authoritarian.
More likely a casus belli to control and censor the internet. Although it has nothing to do with transportation DHS has already started shutting down domains based on alleged copyright infringements (in violation of the Constitution that says one shall not be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process).
The US Government wants people to get their news from approved sources, those they can control, this may be one way to start censoring unapproved sources.
Like you can go to the press and get anything published (based on if your facts are there and accurate) Why is having that freedom good?
Because if the press does not have freedom to print whatever it wants, then the government has control over whatever is printed.
That type of system leads to the promotion of whatever is the current political power at the time.
Take Venezuela for instance. Hugo Chavez now controls all media within the country because he took over any media company who was critical of his leadership. Now, nobody is allowed to be critical of his leadership. That means he can do anything he wants, even if it destroys the country, because nobody will be there to point out his mistakes.
Ok so I have this project due on wednesday and am having a little problem finding some of the rights for freedom of press. I covered the religious views of both of them anything else I missed? Please help me!!
There is no "freedom of press" per se. There is freedom of speech and the media clings very tightly to it. Students and teachers have the exact same rights as everyone else.
Not sure where you’re going with the religious thing…you’ll need to give more background if you want any meaningful answers.
What even more terrible news does Washington have to hide, and just WHO declared martial law on the GOM without telling the rest of us? Freedom of speech and freedom of the press are guaranteed rights in the U.S. Constitution. If these rights have been taken without anyone telling us, then we have a constitutional crisis, in addition to an extinction-level oil disaster.
Corporations get to make up the law, with both parties’ blessing.
the law is of the corporations, by the corporations. We the People need not apply.
Elected Dems are just as bad as Republicans on this.
